re: I can't believe what some tea party people are now pushing

quote:An investor, Shafig bin Laden (Arabic: ???? ?? ?????) is a half-brother to Osama bin Laden,[1] and was in attendance at the Carlyle Group's Washington, DC conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on September 11, 2001, which George H. W. Bush also attended.[2][3]

This has nothing to do with being "best buds" Idiots will believe anything.

Conspiracy theorists usually fall certain income and education levels Lower education levels are a major thread that runs through these folks.

quote: People who believe in one theory are more likely to believe in others. There is a strong association between income and belief levels: the better-off are less likely to believe in conspiracy theories. (Perhaps this can be chalked up to education.)
